The "Key Words" Reflection ~ Mr Daniels CONTROL TECH

"Key Word" is a term that it used to identify the key points in a research. People like to use key words/points when they are trying to find out about something online. As an example you can use key words to search for let's say a footballer. In order to find a footballer you use quotation marks (optional), plus's and words that are accurate or describe a footballer (or something else you are trying to look for). Here is why we use these main elements:

---------

Quotation marks: A quotation mark is something like this ("). In our technology class we used it to help lower the searches but also it can also increase the number of hits. The number of hits and lower searchers sometimes changed when we played around with the quotation marks.

+ Plus's: When we use "Key Words" to search for the topic we want plus's are compulsory. Why? This is because when we identify what we want without the plus's the internet tends to think you are looking for something that relates to that one sentence you have written whereas you add plus's is helps you be more specific with it.

Words: You probably already know what the words are for but just to be specific if anyone doesn't get it. In order to search what your looking for you use words to describe it. Just like I said before if you want to look for a footballer you would use words like rich, famous, soccer ball etc.

---------

 Going back, if you were to search for a footballer than you would write "soccer ball + famous + rich + professional". I found a really good image of what I was looking for through this method. If you try this and it doesn't turn out the way you'd like it or expected then just keep adding on words and plus's just so that you are being more specific.

In this task we also had a presentation that was called Who are you & Where are you going. This was a really interesting topic to work on as we got to look at what we wanted to do in our future. I did a lot of research about becoming a teacher and in one research I found that robots can take over all teachers career which is really scary.

Overall: In this particular class I learned a lot of shortcuts on a presentation. Most of the shortcuts we knew because we were very experienced learners as we started at a young age but, the other shortcuts that I found were very cool. Mostly I learned how to explore different things and stuff related to my search. If I were to use these skills again it would most probably be in college!
